Moschino, a renowned brand founded by Franco Moschino in 1983, is celebrated for its quirky and tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, as well as its innovative approach to design. The legacy of Franco Moschino continues to thrive under the guidance of his successors. Davide Renne was determined to embrace this legacy and bring his own unique vision to the brand.
Davide Renne assumed the role of creative director at Moschino, succeeding American designer Jeremy Scott, who departed from the brand the previous March. In his initial remarks, Renne shared his enthusiasm for the opportunity, saying, “Franco Moschino had a nickname for his design studio: la sala giochi — the playroom. This resonates deeply with me: What fashion — Italian fashion especially, and the house of Moschino most of all — can achieve with its enormous power should be accomplished with a sense of play, of joy. Thank you for giving me the keys to the playroom. I can’t wait to begin.”
This unexpected loss has left the fashion industry in mourning, as it reflects on the promising future that Renne had ahead of him. His passion, dedication, and artistic flair were poised to breathe new life into Moschino, and his absence leaves a void that will be challenging to fill.
